[0040] The control chip 2 is respectively connected to the six-axis attitude sensor 1 and the vibration motor 4 for receiving the angle information, and when the angle information meets the first preset condition, driving the vibration motor 4 to vibrate;

[0041] The rechargeable battery management system 3 is used to supply power to the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device.

[0042] Specifically, the circuit design of the rechargeable battery management system 3 and the vibration motor 4 can refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the six-axis attitude sensor 1 includes: a three-axis accelerometer 11 and a three-axis gyroscope 12. Part of the circuit of the six-axis attitude sensor 1 is used to calculate the current tilt angle of the device according to the three-axis acceleration data. Figure 2 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device further includes: a Bluetooth module 6 connected to the control chip 2; the control chip 2 communicates wirelessly through the Bluetooth module 6. The Bluetooth module 6 in the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device is a key component that allows the device to communicate wirelessly with an external smart device. The following are the main effects and functions of the Bluetooth module 6: The Bluetooth module 6 enables the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device to be wirelessly connected to a smartphone, tablet or other compatible smart device without the use of cables. The user's sitting posture data, including the tilt angle, duration, and number of reminders, can be transmitted to the smart device through the Bluetooth module 6. Through the smart device, the user can remotely monitor his or her sitting posture and view the data even when the device is worn on the body. The user can adjust the device settings through the application on the smart device, such as changing the reminder threshold, adjusting the vibration intensity or light mode, etc. The Bluetooth module 6 can also be used for firmware upgrades of the device.

Bluetooth communication usually contains encryption and pairing mechanisms to ensure the security of data transmission and prevent unauthorized access. The integration of Bluetooth module 6 improves user convenience, making the device more intelligent and user-friendly, and users can easily manage the device and obtain useful health information. If the Bluetooth connection is not successful or there is no data interaction within a certain period of time, the device can automatically enter sleep mode to save power. With Bluetooth module 6, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device can be seamlessly integrated with the user's smart device, providing a richer and more personalized user experience.

[0045] In practical applications, it also includes a key detection circuit; the key detection circuit is used to control the power on and off of the device and the switching into the Bluetooth mode. The specific key detection circuit is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0046] In some embodiments, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device, the control chip is also used to drive the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device to shut down when the angle information meets the second preset condition. In some embodiments of the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device, the control chip 2 is designed to automatically shut down the device according to the second preset condition, which is a mechanism for energy saving and intelligent management of the device. The following is a detailed introduction to this function:

[0047] When the device detects that the user maintains a safe and correct sitting posture for a long time, the control chip 2 can be set to automatically shut down the device after a certain period of time to save power. The second preset condition may refer to another condition in addition to the bad sitting posture reminder, such as the user has no activity for a certain period of time, or the device detects that the user is in a horizontal state (such as lying down or lying flat). When the control chip 2 detects that the second preset condition is met, it will trigger the automatic shutdown program to turn off the vibration motor 4, the Bluetooth module 6 and other non-essential components. This automatic shutdown function is an intelligent management strategy that allows the device to enter a low-power state when continuous monitoring is not required, thereby extending battery life. Users can set or change the second preset condition through the application on the smart device to adapt to their living habits and needs. In some cases, automatic shutdown can be used as a safety protection measure to prevent the device from continuing to operate under inappropriate conditions, such as when the user lies down to sleep. Before automatic shutdown, the device will save the current monitoring data, including the user's sitting posture information and any reminder events that have occurred. The user can restart the device and resume the monitoring function by pressing a button on the device. The automatic shutdown function combined with the low-power mode of the device can significantly extend the use time of the device and reduce the frequency of charging. Before automatically shutting down, the device may provide a status indication through the light module 5 or the vibration motor 4 to inform the user that it is about to shut down. The device may have an intelligent wake-up function, and when it detects that the user starts to move or changes posture, the device automatically restarts the monitoring program. Through this automatic shutdown mechanism, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device can manage its operating status more intelligently, while ensuring that the user can obtain real-time monitoring when needed, and save power when not needed.

[0048] In some embodiments, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device further includes a lighting module 5 connected to the control chip 2. The lighting module 5 includes: light-emitting units of different colors. Figure 4. The light module 5 included in the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device is an important user interface component that provides intuitive visual feedback to the user. The following are the main effects and functions of the light module 5: The light module 5 is composed of light-emitting units of different colors, which can emit multiple colors of light to indicate different states or reminders. Through different colors of light, the user can quickly identify the current working status of the device. For example, green may indicate that the device is working normally, blue may indicate Bluetooth mode, and red may indicate low power or need to be charged. In actual applications, different settings can be made based on actual conditions. When the user's spinal tilt exceeds the preset safety range, in addition to the vibration reminder, the light module 5 can also remind the user by flashing or continuously displaying a specific color of light. In some cases, the vibration reminder may not be obvious enough, especially in a noisy environment, in which case the light module 5 can serve as an effective auxiliary reminder. The light module 5 can also be used to display the charging status and power level of the device. For example, a red light may indicate that it is charging, and a green light indicates that the power is sufficient. When the device enters Bluetooth mode and tries to connect to a smart device, the light module 5 will display a specific color or flashing mode to indicate the pairing status. Users may be able to customize the color and flashing mode of the light through the accompanying application to suit personal preferences or specific needs. For users who wear the device for a long time, the design of the light module 5 takes into account the needs of nighttime use. The light-emitting unit is bright enough to be clearly seen in a dim environment, but not too dazzling. Considering the low power consumption requirements of the device, the light module 5 is designed to automatically turn off when not needed to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Light-emitting units of different colors can also increase the appearance appeal of the device, making it not only functional but also fashionable. Through the integration of the light module 5, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device can provide a richer and more intuitive user interaction experience, enhancing the functional practicality and user-friendliness of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device further includes: a data storage device connected to the control chip 2; the control chip 2 is used to store information through the data storage device. Specifically, the data storage device is used to store power on / off data, tilt data, and reminder thresholds. Figure 5 .

[0050] The data storage included in the spinal wearable sitting monitoring device is a key component that allows the device to store important usage data and setting information. The following are the main functions and effects of the data storage: The data storage is used to record the user's sitting data, including the tilt angle of the spine, duration, number of reminders, etc. The user can review his sitting history and analyze long-term behavioral patterns to better understand and improve his sitting habits. User-defined personalized settings such as reminder thresholds, vibration intensity, and light modes can be saved in the data storage. The device's firmware version information can also be stored in the data storage, which is convenient for users or service personnel to understand the current software status. The data storage is designed to be low-power to ensure that it does not significantly affect the battery life of the device. The storage is usually non-volatile, which means that the stored data will not be lost even if the device is turned off or the battery is exhausted. The stored data may contain sensitive health information, so the data storage design should take into account data security and privacy protection. The stored data can be used for device fault diagnosis and performance evaluation to help manufacturers improve products. Users can synchronize the stored data to smart devices via Bluetooth for more in-depth analysis and viewing. The device may be designed to automatically save all unsaved data before each shutdown to ensure data integrity. The capacity of the data storage device is determined according to the design of the device and the expected usage, and is sufficient to store the user's data for a period of time. The device is designed so that the user can easily access and export the stored data through the application on the smart device. By integrating the data storage device, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device can not only monitor and remind users to improve their sitting posture in real time, but also track and record users' sitting habits for a long time, providing users with more comprehensive health information.

[0051] In some embodiments, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device further comprises: a shell; the shell is made of: silicone. Further, it further comprises: an adjustment buckle; the adjustment buckle is arranged on the shell to fix the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device.

[0052] The shell design and adjustment buckle mechanism of the spinal wearable sitting monitoring device are important components of the user's wearing experience. The following is a detailed introduction to the shell material and adjustment buckle: The shell of the device is made of silicone, which is a soft, skin-friendly and breathable material that is suitable for long-term wear and reduces skin discomfort and allergic reactions. Due to its softness, the silicone material can fit the user's spinal curve and provide good comfort and adaptability. Silicone has good elasticity and wear resistance, allowing the shell to withstand the friction and impact of daily use. The device includes one or more adjustment buckles, which are set on the shell to fix the device and ensure that it remains stable during user activities. The adjustment buckle allows the user to adjust the tightness of the device according to different spinal sizes and shapes to obtain the best wearing experience. The simple design of the adjustment buckle mechanism allows users to easily adjust it by themselves without the help of others. The design of the adjustment buckle ensures the stability of the device during various activities and prevents it from shifting or slipping due to movement. Considering that users may wear the device in public places, the design of the silicone material and adjustment buckle may be intended to make the device as hidden as possible and not affect the appearance. The silicone shell is easy to clean, which helps maintain the hygiene of the device, especially after long-term wear. The appearance design of the device may also include considerations for aesthetics. The color and shape of the silicone material and the adjustment buckle may be coordinated with the overall aesthetic design of the device. The design of the adjustment buckle takes safety into consideration to ensure that it will not accidentally loosen during use and will not cause damage to the user's skin or clothing. The setting of the adjustment buckle allows the device to adapt to users of different ages and body shapes, increasing the versatility and market adaptability of the product. The design of the device's casing and adjustment buckle takes into account the convenience of maintenance. Users can easily disassemble and reinstall the device for easy cleaning and battery replacement.

[0053] Through these design features, the spinal wearable sitting posture monitoring device not only provides functional monitoring and reminders, but also makes detailed considerations on the wearing experience to ensure that users can use the device comfortably, safely and conveniently.
